Over the years our goals and objectives of AutoArt Magazine have been and will always be: to keep the art alive by showcasing the industry's achievements and accomplishments, and educate our readers with informative step-by-step educational articles. Since getting into the vehicle decorating business in 1968 I have always thought it would be great to be able to subscribe to a magazine devoted entirely to this art craft. I used to cut out pictures from magazines and collage paste pages into books for reference, but that still didnít fulfill the need for constent inspiration, motivation and most important, education.

I lobbied for years with a trade publication company to start a magazine focusing on this industry, and in 1995 we got our wish. When the industry was cut off and that magazine ceased publication in 1999, we received countless phone calls from people wanting us to produce something to keep the inspiration and motivation coming. With the help from artists around the world we launched AutoArt Magazine.
